Resealing in Shackerley: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Bath resealing in Shackerley, done in place
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone smeared on tiles, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units alike.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Shropshire.

Shackerley: your questions answered
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you come to Shackerley?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Shackerley. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Shackerley.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We’ll give you the curing time.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Store bottles on a shelf
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
